TOPEKA, Kan. — Commercial contractors in Kansas are struggling to fill construction jobs, a national trade association reported Wednesday.

The Associated General Contractors of America said that 83 percent of surveyed construction firms say they are facing difficulties filling in hourly craft positions, even though Kansas lost over 4,000 construction jobs from July 2015 to July 2016. The association notes that 69 percent of firms nationwide are experiencing similar difficulties.
